Obviously not a Democrat. A Democrat crow would sit on its feathered ass and wait to be fed.

I've tried to explain the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 to my dog, but she could easily run afowl of it.

Fortunately Crows are not covered.

Crows are smart, but they are not nice. Crows like the taste of trauma. It is said they have slight precognition abilities and will hang out where trauma is going to happen in order to enjoy the suffering. They can be used as notification sources, but not helpful ones. More like knowing what a vulture means. And of course, their cawing is the sound of hell itself.

You won’t find any of these in the obama administration. He never hires anyone smarter than he is.

I love them but people here kill them with wanton abandon, much like snakes and any other “not cute and fuzzy” critters.

Ignorance is often deadly.

:(

I had to read that three times to wrap my head around it.

Talk about projecting some pretty bizarre attributes on a bird.

This video was taken in Russia so either the Russian crows are small or Russian men are . . . . . lol
